Hi JT- >Mike as usual you are full of shit. You are right about the year with DQ, >but that is it. I have for your benefit added a couple of photos to my >site, they have the Lobster in question and the date on the photo along >with the guy who got it......not me. Man, the truth changes again. Blame it on someone else. At the time you were boasting it was *your* lobster. I did not see any other person with you from your charter that day in the parking lot. For fuck sake, I need a program to keep up with all your "edits" and digressions. BTW, is it legal or illegal to spear lobsters? As a USCG certified captain (and I use that term lightly when referring to you) running dive charters you should know that answer. Instead of answering the question, go ahead and turn it back on me about the artifacts (yes, you are that predictable). >Now as for me and my boat..... when you call see if he has the balls to >admit he asked me to run for his shop when it first opened and Dusty asked >me to Capt his boat before he stopped booking through there. JT, this has nothing to do with anything. It still was a POS 6-pack. >Then ask about the last time I came in there and I caught him saying >bullshit that was not true about an accident on the Miss Lindsey and he did >not know I was on the boat when it happened and I confronted him to his >face over it. I have my witnesses who were there when this happened. Wasn't there and it has nothing to do with my original post. Keep to the program please. I was in the parking lot. I saw the speared lobster (which at the time you said was yours). I saw you come in several times into the shop and wouldn't stay away from the fill station and yapping about the "JT show." It was funny when you would come in as everyone would scatter like someone just farted. Then I would realize it was just you. I helped put up the "JT chain." I noticed you didn't come in anymore after we called you a moron. What happened to me not knowing how to fill your doubles? Give it a rest jackass. >Get your dive buddy who sent me the photos of you guys removing artifacts >off the Vitric when you thought it was a protected wreck, have him give me >permission to place them on my site since he has his copy right mark on >them and everyone will see the real you or are you the pussy I say you are >and won't do it. I will not altar them or change them.......the title he >put on them says it all. Just have him give me permission is all I need. JT, again here we go on another predictable bug hunt. Yeah, I guess this was the time I threatened you to keep your mouth shut, as you stated in another post, right? More JT bullshit. Speaking of that dive, what did you tell me in regard to my trip report -- something like "you were real nice" about what happened to you on that dive? Like when you ignored our advice not to take your POS scooter past its depth rating on that wreck. What happened? It flooded, resulting in you and one other diver adding a bunch of gas to recover that POS. Your arrogance and ignorance could have led to a bad situation. Again, you just don't get it, instead playing it off that the scooter was "expendable." I guess you feel the same way about your fellow divers. Or when you lost your knife, or when your light screwed up, or you holding on to the line for dear life as you had no buoyancy skills, or when you soaked in the water all day long as you had (and have) no clue about decompression (sure, it was the low O2)? Jesus, you were a clusterfuck. That's what we should really be discussing, and what a lot of people asked you nicely about. Such as how many dives you have done, how many trimix dives did you do before doing something like the Ostfriesland and Frankfurt, etc. (ect. ect)? I think everyone is getting tired of your "truths" [e.g., JT's "truth" on your 2001 Doria dives: "I spent most of the day in my bunk recovering from a taskful dive" and "I also remained in seclusion on this trip, not happy with my actions and not happy with the actions of one of my crew on a personal note , we did not speak to each other unless we had to, more stress for me. I was not having a good time." The **real truth**: you were bent and on O2 in your bunk.]. But getting back to your post. Again all lies (I apologize as I understand that saying "your posts" and then "lies" is a bit redundant). We never thought it was protected, so just quit lying about that. Why don�t you relate the actual and truthful conversation that went on during the boat ride out, when everyone asked if it was or wasn�t protected? What did I say about the 300fsw contour? Jesus JT, you are an intellectual nitwit. If you had such a problem, and think we truly had premeditated anything illegal, why didn't you say anything at the time? Check with those in the know, and you will see that the right thing was done once it was realized a mistake was made (it was all documented). At the time, *even they* thought it was not protected and outside of the boundaries. I think I have told you this in the past, but you refuse to accept it. So, I think that covers all the bases, you want to bring up the accident or supposed "cover-up" now, or will you ever answer any of the simple and direct questions asked of you by numerous people on the list? Again, you calling anyone a neophyte is a joke. Just because you *survived* a 400-foot dive does not make you a good diver. Do you get that? Apparently not. Now I hear some rumors about a 50-minute dive on the Ostfriesland, complete with a deco habitat, just so you can say you did a longer dive than JJ did at depth on the Britannic. Awesome stuff there JT! Are you going to do the extended dive so you can try and determine what really sunk the Ostfriesland?? I really hope that is just an April Fool's joke. Besides, you still have to come back to Florida to dive on that 470fsw U-boat of yours (you know, the "sub" off Boynton). I can't wait for you to see what it really is. You have not done anything of note (not implying that I have, so don't get your panties in a wad. Remember, I am a neophyte). All your boasting is a tad funny, considering you are simply following in other's footsteps. All the dives you have done were several years after initial exploration by other trailblazers, but with the HUGE difference that you have the access to proper gasses, information about decompression, etc. (ect., ect.). But, all you can do is try and take cheap shots at them while you try desperately to make a name for yourself. In any case, with all this information, better tables, etc. (ect., ect.), it *should* be easier for you JT, don't you get that? You are nothing but an illiterate hack that has yet to explore anything new. Whoops, almost forgot that fishing vessel of yours. Bravo! I think I have fairly answered most of your claims. Yet, you predictably fail to answer one simple and direct question posed to you from multiple posters on this list. Instead, you always find a segue or try and "expose" someone so as to take the embarrassing spotlight off you. This is not going to go away. 1. How many technical dives have you done? Please exclude the air/air BS (such as when you almost became the second fatality on the Ocean Venture on that one trip back in '96 or '97). Just to give a clear delineation, let's just include all helium-based dives below 150fsw. I really don't care about max depth or other silliness; let's just focus on proficiency. Why don't you break it down by year also? Thanks buddy. I won't hold my breath, as I don't think you will ever answer this question. But, as you stated, anyone can go onto your website to quickly add up all those technical dives of yours. I think I didn't have to use anything more than my two hands and two feet to cover most of them, definitely not more than my two hands for any one year. Just to give you a benchmark, so you might someday get a clue, Billy Deans accumulated 438 dives on the Wilkes Barre alone. That's just one wreck. Even if you cut that in half, or even take 25% of that, you fall so far short of that it is preposterous for you to call anyone a neophyte. Your infatuation with depth and time is going to get you, or more importantly, someone else that doesn't know any better, killed. Most people that are doing 400-500fsw+ dives these days don't do a lot of advertising or boasting (there is a fair bit of deep stuff going on, here and abroad, in case you didn't know) as they realize that it is not something you want to encourage new divers to quickly pursue. For fuck's sake, even your fellow VBTECH boys are trying to get that point across to you. So, go ahead and cry me a river. Scream to the heavens that I am lying. Go ahead and call me whatever nifty redneck insult you can. Go ahead and try to post more of your "truths" to expose me. Go ahead and digress, embellish, stupefy, and outright lie to avoid coming to the realization that you yourself, are nothing more than a neophyte. Oh, and be sure to have a r-e-a-l swell day. Happy Birthday Jackass!
